As a marketing tie-in for the new season of ‘Stranger Things’ (set to start streaming this 4th of July on Netflix) Coca-Cola is bringing back it’s 1985 formula for ‘New Coke.’
This season of ‘Stranger Things’ takes place in the summer of 1985 which is also the same year that Coca-Cola debuted the new recipe for their carbonated beverage. The creators of the show thought it would be a cool way to promote the show and Coca-Cola agreed. They’re not getting the same marketing bang for their buck buying traditional ads, so they’re hoping this resurrection will help reach people in an evolving media landscape.
